The only down side I can see is you can pick up a used Larrivee 02/03/maybe even 04 series for the price of one of these new...if you're patient. And Larrivee offers more models (there's no "L" or "LV" body equivalent in the Leho line). And Larrivee offers lefties - no lefty Leho's (try saying that ten times!) that I can see...

Didn't know that ... I should try to convince my local Larrivee dealer to get a couple in (don't know how much luck I'll have - they only stock a couple Larrivees at a time - in a shop with walls full of Martins, Gibsons, Taylors, Fenders, Yamahas, etc. ...)

I knew the name seemed familiar... They are a pretty big ukulele builder. So has anyone played one? Interesting to see how they compare to other entry level guitars. A new answer to that old question about decent guitars under $800?
